Sedimentary rocks are widelyoccurring
� Beautiful mountain scenes
� All over the world
� Mostly metamorphosed sedimentary rocks

“The continental crust is composedprimarily of sedimentary rocks”– New World Encyclopedia
“Sedimentary rocks are ... a thin veneer” -- Wikipedia
No evidence of a basin or edge deposits
� Sedimentary rocks cover most of the earth’s continents
� There is little or no evidence of basin edges
� “basins” overlap horizontally and vertically
� Depth runs to as much as 10,000 meters
� The magnitude of material is consistent with a global hydraulic event “flood” or inundation with a global sea
Uniform grain size and then suddenly boulders and pebbles
� Grain size is uniform over large areas
� Different layers can have widely differing grain sizes
� Large boulders have been transported in some instances
Also volcanic pipes with no volcano
� Diamonds are found in volcanic pipes where the volcano has been cut away
Sedimentary rocks
� Frequently but NOT ALWAYS metamorphosed
� Associated with large waterfalls
� Now visible at a site near you or perhaps all around you?

Massive wave action can move huge volumes of material very rapidly
Summing up
� Huge areas of sedimentary rocks
� All over the world
� Requires massive water extent, depth and velocity
� Overlain with massive amounts of material that has disappeared in order to apply the required pressure
� Not a small local inland sea or even a large one
� A massive global hydraulic event the only plausible explanation?
� Where did the water come from and where has it gone?
� Does it matter? Why?
